[Docket No. FDA–2010–N–0001] 

Emerging Infectious Diseases: 

Evaluation to Implementation for 

Transfusion and Transplantation 

Safety and Quantitative Risk 

Assessment: Blood Safety and 

Availability; Public Workshops 

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, 

HHS. 

ACTION: Notice of public workshops. 

The Food and Drug Administration 

(FDA) is announcing two public 

workshops entitled ‘‘Emerging Infectious 

Diseases: Evaluation to Implementation 

for Transfusion and Transplantation 

Safety’’ (EID public workshop) and 

‘‘Quantitative Risk Assessment: Blood 

Safety and Availability’’ (QRA public 

workshop), respectively. The workshops 

have been scheduled on consecutive 

days to allow interested parties to attend 

both. The EID public workshop is a 2- 

day workshop; the purpose is to review 

the strategies used for identification, 

prioritization, and response to EID that 

are relevant to blood, cells, tissues and 

organs. The workshop has been planned 

in partnership with the HHS Office of 

Science and Public Health, Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention, 

National Institutes of Health and Health 

Resources Services Administration. The 

QRA public workshop is a 1-day 

workshop; the purpose is to review the 

scientific principles of risk assessment 

and to discuss the role of risk 

assessment in the regulatory process, 

specifically as it relates to blood safety 

and availability. The public workshops 

will feature presentations, case studies 

and round table discussions led by 

national and international experts from 

government, academia and industry. 

Date and Time: The EID public 

workshop will be held on May 11 and 

12, 2010, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., 

each day. The QRA public workshop 

will be held on May 13, 2010, from 8:30 

a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 

Location: Both public workshops will 

be held at the Hilton Washington DC 

North/Gaithersburg, 620 Perry Pkwy., 

Gaithersburg, MD 20877. 

Contact Person: Persons interested in 

the EID public workshop should contact

Registration: Mail or fax your 

registration information (including 

name, title, firm name, address, 

telephone and fax numbers) to the 

appropriate contact person (see Contact 

Person) by May 5, 2010. There is no 

registration fee for either public 

workshop. Early registration is 

recommended because seating is 

limited. Registration on the days of the 

public workshops will be provided on a 

space available basis beginning at 7:30 

a.m. 

If you need special accommodations 

due to a disability, please contact the 

appropriate contact person (see Contact 

Person) at least 7 days in advance. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is 

announcing the following two public 

workshops: 

1. EID Public Workshop 

The characterization of risk from, and 

prioritization of response to, emerging 

infectious diseases relevant to blood, 

cells, tissue and organ safety has always 

been a complicated process. In terms of 

preparedness, when multiple EID agents 

threaten blood, cells, tissue and organ 

safety, it can be a challenge to prioritize 

efforts to address the resulting risk 

related issues since there is no single 

approach or formula that guarantees an 

ideal prioritization process. The EID 

public workshop will address processes 

for early threat detection and risk 

reduction of EID agents that are relevant 

to blood, cells, tissues and organs, 

including methods of ‘‘horizon 

scanning,’’ risk assessment, risk 

communication and application of 

emerging pathogen detection and 

pathogen reduction technologies. In 

addition, the workshop will discuss 

research needed to help address issues 

regarding appropriate screening and 

testing for donors of human organs, 

cells, and tissues for transplantation. 

The first day of the workshop will 

focus on transfusion safety and include 

discussions on the following topics: (1) 

The identification, surveillance and 

prioritization of EID agents in the 

United States (U.S.) and internationally; 

(2) risk assessment methodologies; and 

(3) tools to address EIDs, including 

pathogen reduction technologies, 

microarray sequencing and prion 

detection capabilities. The second day 

of the workshop will address organ, cell 

and tissue transplantation safety. Topics 

for discussion include the following: (1) 

The regulatory frameworks for cells, 

tissue and organ transplantation; (2) 

approaches to the identification and 

evaluation of EIDs in the U.S. and 

internationally; (3) risk assessment 

methodologies; and (4) current research 

priorities, limitations and opportunities. 

2. QRA Public Workshop 

FDA’s mission to protect public 

health is a complex challenge that 

frequently requires regulators to use 

sophisticated analyses of risk and 

benefit to reach informed decisions
